Regis brings up a good point about the regent not being happy with the flowers being destroyed... And as he thinks more about this he realizes he hadn't thought of the plants at all, they were just another food item to him (some of them far tastier than others) and not a living thing. "Do you think flowers can be happy? Or sad? Or hurt?" The ethical dilemma is an abrupt change of subject, but that might not come as a surprise to Regis-- the black pegasus tended to say whatever was on his mind, as soon as it popped in there, especially among friends.

Talk turns back to the wedding and Mateo grins. "Oh, I've never been to one but I've read about them. There's a ceremony and then a great party... There's nothing to be nervous about, you just have to walk around and talk to strangers and let people congratulate you. I imagine diplomats will be there from all the courts to pay their respects, maybe even the sovereigns themselves." It excites him to think of meeting these characters he's heard so much of in story and song. "They say king Asterion can bend water to his will, and sovereign Isra is a storyteller with the power to transform the ugliest of things into something so beautiful it would bring a tear to the eye. And Seraphina of Solterra, there are so many rumors about the girl queen! The wildest I've heard is that you'll turn to ice if she looks at you with her blue eye!"

Not to mention the regents, the emissaries, the food and (very importantly) drink from all four corners of Novus. It would be a grand event, something to sing about for many years to come-- and he could not be prouder that the newlyweds were from his court.

"Of course, one could not ask for a better sovereign than your papa." Mateo's left wing reaches out to brush against Reggie's right. He had always been a very physically affectionate creature, and around friends gentle touches like these were offered without thinking-- or without asking, which on some occasions became problematic if the receiving party was not fond of physical touch.

"What does he think of you sneaking around for sweets? He doesn't get too upset about it, does he?" Mateo keeps his voice light and carefree, although the closer they get to the kitchens the more nervous he is about getting caught-- and potentially getting the young prince in trouble. He casually looks around but they are still alone in the sleepy hallway. "Oh, Oriens will most definitely be there. He's everywhere, even if you can't see him." He nods sagely, happy to keep pace with the questions bombarded on him. "Especially for the union of his people."
